yeah lets keep it to just the GFG. Deadline for the contest will be the 1st of July. I leave for Mexico on the 6th of July. I spend a week there, so the winner can be announced when I return. I think we should put it up to a vote...2 categories or 1. pounds removed is the definite. But we can do inches removed too. What say you all? Also, pounds will be lipo and the skin and fat removed. Pnut, you can grab the pic I posted in the other thread and post it again when we open it up for the official bets. Goodluck everyone on betting on my fat white ass!! LOL :clap2: :clap2: This will add to my already excited state!

WELCOME GRANLADY AND STYLER96!!! It is never too late to join us! We are so glad you are here! Granlady, how long have you been banded? Maybe share what you have been eating, and your workouts, and we will see if we can help ya!! We are so glad you are here!

your doc lets you eat all of that 9 days out from surgery?

ok, got this months pic of me on my scorecard. this time next month i will be in mexico gettin my apron removed. Maybe get my FUPA worked on a bit. LOL Pnut, do we want to do the betting pool in this months challenge, since we won't have a lot of time in next month's challenge. If so, start setting it up. I will possibly do another round of pics and we will take our bets. Winner gets something cool from Mexico. Yeehaw!!

Ok, I keep forgetting, so I jsut went back and took them all out. But we want everyone to keep their signatures out of this thread...unless it is pertinent to your post. There is a little check box that you can click, and that way your signature does not show in this thread. The reason behind this idea is too make the thread not become pages and pages and pages long and a long load time. And also to make sure that it is easy to navigate. We all post on this thread multiple times every day. Lets keep the visuals to a minimum for those who have slow connections.

you can get them in cases online, but i would go to GNC and get some different flavors first to see which ones you like best

isopure is (in my opinion) the best protein drink out there. it is clear, fruit flavored, and has a ton of protein in it. plus...it is carb free :girl_hug:

God i love Isopure. Today was really hard to keep the perfect score so far. Our neighbor brought over these sugar coated homemade cookies. OMG they smelled so good. I forced emily and andy to eat them all as soon as possible LOL Just so that they were not around to tempt me any longer.

how many calories are you taking in a day? you maybe in starvation mode if you are under 900 calories a day. Doctors and nutritionists like to keep weight loss patients between 900 and 1200 calories per day for optimum weight loss. Starvation mode can cause you to stall in your weight loss until you up your caloric intake. Some have even been known to gain! Good luck!!

I told very few people as well when we first started researching sna deciding. Now I tell everyone that I am having the surgery. I am crazy about the band, and can't wait to have it. And I can't wait to be skinny, no matter who knows how I am doing it. I have been close mouthed about going to mexico because there is such a prejudice against having surgery in that country. People think I am going to texas. Others think I am having it done locally. My mom and one friend and DH know that i am going to mexico for it all. Aside from that, everyone has been excited about it...except for the little episode that my mother in law had when we first told her. She has had 4 friends die from GB. She is deathly afraid that this is the same thing, no matter what I say, and that I am going to die from complications.

I have to agree with Diane. Thank you all for this very thoughtful discussion without any wars or attacks or bashing. I was worried, but I really feel good about this all.

I can't wait to get to mexico for my apron surgery!! And then my lap band after that. I am using them as vacations LOL A chance to get away to a beautiful country without the kids, and some time to just DH and I.

I have been considering it. I would love to have my eyes done. My lips really don't need it, but my brows could use some too. The problem with my brows is that I have sheer blonde eyebrows and eyelashes. i draw in a slightly darker blonde/red brow, and my lashes get painted with a brown or black. i am not sure how a permanent makeup is going to do with my brows, and if it will look weird for liner if I do not have mascara on.

Welcome Raven!! You don't have to do the challenge, and just post your weigh in every wednesday. It is up to you how involved you want to be. Just come here and share and participate, or just watch and glean. No matter what....WELCOME!!

be sure that you wash down everywhere that the puppy has been since you got it. This is a fungus that can transfer sooooo easily and is high infectious. Clean sanitize, and get the dog cleaned up. Good luck!!

wow that will boost any fat woman's confidence!! I am going to book mark this site and do my name every morning to start my day off right.

because there is some rule that if you are fat you must wear loud flower prints, neon colors, shirts with embroidered teddy bears holding balloons and wearing sailor hats, and moomoos in the ugliest 70's rayon designs ever made. the normals figure if they dress us bad we will get sick of being fat and lose the weight.

Good luck with the new account!! We will miss you around here!!

i push cause i love, K@t. forgive me if I go too far. I got pushed and had an almost perfect record last month except for when I got sick. I WANT a perfect card. For me. And I want a lot of my GFG members to have a perfect card with me.

are you walking during any of this? and honestly...if heather and I can drag our asses out of bed that early in the morning, and still not get to bed till 12 or 1 you can too excuses don't work here. find a way to get in 30 minutes during the day, or you hve to get up in the morning and do it. even just a 30 minute walk works. but you will have a perfect scorecard this month.

now that is an excuse!! why don't you think you are going to have a perfect scorecard? hours do not dictate any of the things on the scorecard. KAT. I am gonna start hounding you on this.

I think it is a sentiment that bears repeating Brenda. And Geezer, I agree. It was the last time we went to that church. We don't want people looking at our bank book so they can determine who to "shop" us to as new attendees.

beautifully put Brenda. you took what i said and made it understandable LOL

the cheeks seem smaller. great pics!! it will be interesting to see what a perfect scorecard will do to your pics

is there a particular date by which we should have things sent out?
